Review Summary

Cloakroom Bar is widely celebrated as a premier speakeasy in Montreal, known for its intimate atmosphere and unique, menu-less concept where talented bartenders craft bespoke cocktails based on individual flavor preferences. While most visitors praise the personalized service, high-quality ingredients, and sophisticated, cozy vibe that makes it an excellent choice for dates or small groups, others note that the venue is quite small, often resulting in wait times and a crowded environment. Perspectives on value vary, as some patrons find the high prices justified by the premium experience and exclusivity, while others feel the cost does not always align with the simplicity of the presentation or the occasional inconsistency in service. Overall, it remains a highly recommended destination for those seeking an immersive and creative cocktail experience.

They don't have a drink menu. You tell the bartender what you like & he makes you a drink. 3/3 Max did an awesome job. I loved everything he made. Starred it for next time we're in town. NOTE: it's a very small place (25 seats). If there is a long line you're probably going to be waiting a long time. We tried to get in on a Saturday, but didn't want to wait (as we were leaving someone said they had been waiting over an hour). We went back the following day & got right in.

Wow, what a great experience. There's no menu, you just kind of give them the vibe you're looking for & they make you something invariably amazing. We tried a bunch of different drinks & everything was fantastic. They also have these nice intimate little alcoves for two couples where you can meet & chat with folks. & the service is fantastic, super attentive & friendly. Prices are also less than you'd expect from a place like this.

Waitress seemed arrogant & offered only mediocre service. Ruined the experience for us. Atmosphere was interesting. Cocktails were above average, but I had expected a little more.

I liked the custom-cocktail concept & the location, but the waitress was disinterested bordering on rude. No check-in whether we liked the drinks & no smile or brief small talk. I have been to many cocktail bars all over the world & I found this one overrated. I still hope anyone going enjoys their time!

Little bar with no menu. Bartenders are knowledgeable of drinks & can put a nice spin on your cocktails! We visited out of town; highly recommend going right after it opens & before dinner hour as they do get busy & only accommodate 25 people.

The drinks were fantastic, & the ambiance was amazing. The man who greeted us was professional & very welcoming. However, our experience was tainted by our waiter. She was quite rude & seemed completely disinterested, even though it was only 10 PM. There was no smile, no greeting, & she was cold & unengaged when taking our order. Unfortunately, this made for an overall disappointing experience throughout the night.

My favourite bar in the city. Bit of a wait so come early. No menus. Just great service & great vibes. Very intimate setting. Drinks are well crafted with heavy pours.
